Peachy Keen Stamps :: Sketch Challenge 59 + a TWIST!


OMG - I love how this card came together 
The stamp is of course from Peachy Keen's 
Mark & Sharen Love Frogs
I colored them with my Staples permanent markers
Red stickles on the frogs clothing and pink buttons
Petal Pink Liquid Pearls on her hat
Yellow stickles on his crown
I cut the bamboo from 
Life is a Beach
The lily pad was from an oval 
on the Sweetheart cartridge 
I am really trying to use my cricut machine these days.
Went over the flowery portion with 
Momentos green ink
And then used yellow stickles on the branches 
and the orange buttons 
Bobunny paper - Vicky B. Collection
Let me know what you think 
Hope you are having a great day 
And not anywhere near Irene 



Market Street - Sketch Challenge 5

Yeah I know Brown on brown on brown
I believe this is the first time I use MSS Woodgrain
Ink - Stampin' Up - Chocolate brown
I inked the edges to make it blend
together better.
The ribbon is from a kit I purchased at Tuesday Monday
Sorry I am not sure of the company
Twine - We R Memory keepers
Of of all the cards I have made for the
Market Street Challenges
This is my favorite project so far.
Let me know what you think
I LOVE Comments !!!


Market Street Block Party

OK here is a little something that I created for MSS Block Party 
Oh, it feels so good to create again!
School is back in session and I have been stressed out 
with a billion things to do - so no scrappin'
Here is just one of the items that I have created in the last 
several days.
The card came to be because I wanted to use 
the Living Life Sticker from K&Company (Americana)
I stamped the MSS Grungy Border with Memento's Danube Blue 
and then did the edge with Memento's Lady Bug Red 
I then stamped the Words from MSS 
Simple Joys in Lady Bug Red 
Then went over them again with a
Staple's permanent red marker 
Then hooked them together with the marker
and used my white Gelly marker 
 Twine is from the Twinery
Pretty cute if I say so myself
Hope you like it

Coffee Shaker Card

First Shaker Card

Now You might be able to figure out how to do 
a Shaker card on your own 
But it helps if you watch Erika's Video 

Cartridge- From My Kitchen 
Sentiment - TPC Studio Coffee Cafe 
Peachy Keen face Wide Eyed Kid 1 1/8 
White Gelly Roll
Cheeks - Stampin' up chalk 
Mouth - Staples Permanent Markers 
Paper - Pressed Petal Casina & Antique Attic Solids
Michael's Rhinestones
And Coffee Beans from the Maui Coffee Co.
I called Raven and asked  "Do you have any thing to put in the middle?"
She said "Mom you have something that you can use." 
Then listed a number of things 
That is when the idea to use coffee beans came from.
I knew where to find those: LOL 
I have never used this cartridge and I really wanted to use 
the Kitchen paper 
Hope you all like it as much as I do

Scrapalicious USA Challenge 13

I went into my scrap drawer to I see what I had.
I picked strips that seemed to go together. 
I used Memento Cantaloupe on the edge of the card, 
And then around each strip. 
I went around the background paper with a 
orange permanent Staples marker. 
The background paper is from one my my favorites 
Safari Kids Cardstock Matstack. 
Believe - heidi grace clear words stickers 
Twine - the Twinery 
I really like the clean lines 
and how the colors all came together
hope you do as well

in Vegas with my BF & her husband.
I wanted to send them a

Studio G’s white pigment ink

In various shades of grey
Red Stickles on the hearts

And of course all put together with my ATG Gun.
 2nd Card - this was made first 
but soon realized that I had missed the 
various layers so I then made the one that is on top 
I realized that I didn’t see that there were several layers
I used many of the items on the first card I shared with you
And the following items as well
The Purple paper – Stampin’ Up
Adhesive Gems – K&Company
Hearts colored in with Staple’s Metallic pens
